Markus,

As I said earlier it did work originally on my local development system. So, I dumped the database back from the live system to my development system, and it works like a charm, as it did before. I also ran the direct link to securimage_show.php and that displayed the captcha image in the browser.

The highest version of PHP I can go to is 7.1, which is what I am on. Therefore I could only g0 back to PHP 7.0. I did that, but it did not change the php.ini file. Here are the contents anyway:
; cPanel-generated php ini directives, do not edit
; Manual editing of this file may result in unexpected behavior.
; To make changes to this file, use the cPanel MultiPHP INI Editor (Home >> Software >> MultiPHP INI Editor)
; For more information, read our documentation (
go.cpanel.net/EA4ModifyINI
)

I know that 7.2 is the next currently supported version, 7.3 would be preferred. I have asked for these versions to be made available, but nothing has happened yet.
The captcha still did not display.
Just a thought. Normally, when you make a change to ini files, you stop/start the process. That's fine locally, but how do the changes apply when the ISP has control?
I don't have SSH access yet. I am still trying to get the ISP to give me the security details.
